#1 Where's my money? My ancestors suffered because they couldn't find jobs. That was a direct result of blacks taking the jobs at lower wages.

I DEMAND REPARATIONS!

#2 "More than $30 million was mistakenly paid out in slave reparations in 2000 and part of 2001." Now why did I not think of that? If they pay that out they probably don't check any ethnicity box. Come to think of it, there is no ethnicity box on a 1040! RACISM I SAY!

#3 ...the Fosters said it was their rightful reparations, since their ancestors were slaves.

I thought their ancestors were:

...African Moors who came to the New World before European colonialists.

Which is it?

#4 Wow, the good news is that the fact that some of these claims actually got through will take a load off my mind as I scrounge the tax form for deductions each April.

#5 "I was picked out to be harassed," he said. "I was always outspoken." Foster, who admitted he called U.S. District Judge Richard L. Williams a "white devil" in court, said he doesnât hate anybody.

This kills me. He was picked out because he's a jerk, not because he's African American. His whole life he's probably been treated badly because he's a loud mouth jerk (and racist from the sound of it) and he's blamed it on the man.

#8 Oh, this is just great--the way she got that $500,000 refund is by claiming she paid $500,000 in taxes that same year and was due the refund!

Is the IRS aware of these computer thingies we have nowadays? Maybe they could buy a few?

I think I'll claim I paid $100 million in taxes and am due a full refund. That should buy me a nice life and a new ID--I wouldn't be sitting here waiting to be caught!

#9 Raj, thanks for the correction. I'll have to rewatch Undercover Brother and catch up on THE MAN and his henchman Feather. Solid!

#10 As a descendant of a Cherokee, I'm offended by some band of kooks using "Cherokee" in the name of their cult.

Where can I sue?

#11 Buys an automobile from the "ethnically tolerant" Germans. Then pays tuition to a school in the very State famous for slavery. Bold statement brave soldier, bold statement indeed.

#12 Foster had spent the money in eight days, buying a $40,000 Mercedes Benz, paying off her student loans and helping her brother pay for his first year at Virginia Tech.

Damn! Tuition must have gone up at VA Tech, or she had one heck of a student loan. Now we have to pay for their incarceration.

#13 Three hots and a cot, such a deal. Only problem is that I am sure that there will be a fine, too. Kinda wipes out the Rape-a-Nation's profit. Now she will be playing rock hockey in the big arena for less than minimum wage.

#14 ROBERT LEE Foster?

Yeah, decended from Stephens lesser known brother who made a fortune in the blackface biz.

Known only to history as the name of the famous racin steamship Robert E. Lee.
